Abstract

Several new miners for frequent subgraphs have been published recently. Whereas new approaches are presented in detail, the quantitative evaluations are often of limited value: only the performance on a small set of graph databases is discussed and the new algorithm is often only compared to a single competitor based on an executable. It remains unclear, how the algorithms work on bigger/other graph databases and which of their distinctive features is best suited for which database. We have re-implemented the subgraph miners MoFa, gSpan, FFSM, and Gaston within a common code base and with the same level of programming expertise and optimization effort. This paper presents the results of a comparative benchmarking that ran the algorithms on a comprehensive set of graph databases. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2005.
